Today, on December 23rd, the access to YouTube in Russia has decreased by 20 percent. This was reported by Ixbt here.
It is reported that the traffic volume of the video hosting has dropped to 20 percent of the normal state. Google's monitoring service has shown 8.5 points for traffic coming from the Russian Federation, with 4/5 of the population unable to access the site.
Many people have equated this slowdown of YouTube to a blockade.
For your information, YouTube has been deliberately slowed down in Russia for several months now. This has been attributed to the platform's violation of a number of laws and the deletion of accounts belonging to Russian media and artists.
As a reminder, it was previously reported that the YouTube platform had started to operate without restrictions on mobile devices in Russia.
